Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!
Chapter 45 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
The villagers even shoved each other in their struggle to grab a large sea cucumber.
Wang Feng panicked when she saw this.
"Second brother, these bastards are here to rob us, what do we do?"
Wu Sui remained calm and patted the snakeskin bag full of goods.
"Sister-in-law, we've already taken the lion's share. Let them take the rest. Tie the bag tight, we're getting ready to leave."
Wu Gang and Su Yu quickly started tying the bag shut.
Just then, Lai Er, carrying a half-full bucket, picked things up as he moved closer to Wu Sui.
He was so engrossed in picking things up that he didn't even look where he was going, and went straight to the area that Wu Sui and the others had just finished cleaning.
There wasn't much of value left on the ground.
Lai Erzei circled around stealthily and suddenly spotted a puddle near Wang Feng's feet.
In that puddle, there was a small green dragon that had just been pushed ashore by the waves!
It weighed at least three or four pounds, and its two long tentacles were still swaying on the water.
"Holy crap, a lobster!"
Lai Er exclaimed in surprise, dropped the bucket in his hand, rushed towards the puddle, and grabbed the lobster with both hands.
Wang Feng was closest and reacted quickly, stepping on the edge of the puddle to block Lai Er's hand.
"Lai Er, are you blind? This is something under my feet."
Lai Er got anxious and glared fiercely at Wang Feng with his face upturned.
"Bullshit! In a puddle, whoever catches you gets to keep you. Get out of my way right now."
As he spoke, Lai Er reached out to push Wang Feng's leg.
Before he could even touch Wang Feng's trouser leg, a large foot kicked him directly in the shoulder.
A muffled "bang" was heard.
Lai Er fell backward and rolled twice in the mud and sand, getting a mouthful of sand in his mouth.
Wu Sui withdrew his foot and coldly stared at Lai Er on the ground.
"Lai Er, you've gotten too bold, haven't you? Daring to touch my sister-in-law?"
Lai Er spat out the sand in his mouth, got up angrily, and pointed at Wu Sui, cursing loudly.
"Wu Lao Er, don't push your luck! This beach belongs to the whole village. Why should all the good stuff go to your family?!"
Lai Er's shout was so loud that all the villagers who were grabbing the goods stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.
Chen Fugui carried the bucket forward, glanced at the large lobster in the puddle, and then looked at the five bulging snakeskin bags behind Wu Sui.
Greed made him forget his fear of Wu Sui.
Chen Fugui slammed the sand shovel in his hand into the ground and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Second brother, we're all from the same village. Your family has already filled five big bags. Let Lai Er have these lobsters. It's not good to eat them all by yourself."
When the surrounding villagers saw that someone was taking the lead, they also joined in the commotion.
"Exactly, why should he get all the good stuff?"
"We just arrived, and they're already full. That's not fair."
The crowd began to slowly approach Wu Sui and his group.
Wang Feng pulled out a broken-handled shovel from his back, held it horizontally in front of his chest, and began to curse loudly.
"Bullshit! When I braved the typhoon to pick it up, you bunch of cowards were all hiding under the covers."
"Now that the wind has died down, they're running out to grab what's readily available. Have they no shame?"
Wu Gang also shielded Chen Xue and Su Yu behind him, gripping the sand shovel tightly in his hand.
Su Yu had never seen anything like this before. He was so frightened that he kept swallowing hard and asked Wu Sui in a low voice.
"Brother Angkor, are these guys trying to rob us outright? Maybe... we should just give them the lobster?"
Wu Sui glared at him, telling him to shut up.
If he backs down at a time like this, he'll never be able to hold his head up in the village again.
Lai Er was still shouting, but Wu Sui had already lost patience.
He walked straight to the edge of the puddle, scooped up some sand, and chopped the lobster in two.
The people around were startled, looking at the lobsters in the puddle and then at Wu Sui, who was full of hostility.
"Who wants to steal lobsters? Come on, let's see if your bones are harder than my sand shovel."
Lai Er sat in the muddy water, his face turning a deep liver color.
Looking at the lobster, then at the sand shovel in Wu Sui's hand, he swallowed hard but didn't dare to utter a sound.
Wu Sui brandished his sand shovel a few times, then sneered at the group of people who dared not speak.
"The beach is full of good stuff, why aren't you picking it up yourselves, instead of staring at my stuff?"
He pointed to the five snakeskin bags behind him.
"These bags are what my whole family risked our lives for. If anyone dares to covet them again, don't blame me for coming over to your house tonight..."
Several idlers in the crowd who had initially been envious and wanted to join in the commotion shrank back and quickly turned to rummage through the pile of seaweed nearby.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a principle that applies everywhere.
Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Wu Sui turned to look at Wu Gang.
"Brother, these bags are too heavy; we can't move them at all."
"You're quick on your feet, go back and bring the cart from home."
Wu Gang glanced at the villagers around him, who were eyeing him menacingly, and felt a little uneasy.
"If I leave, will the three of you be able to manage?"
"What's wrong with that? Just go!"
Wang Feng then came to her senses and slammed the broken-handled shovel into the ground.
"Anyone who dares to come near me, I'll smash their skull in."
Wu Sui waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things from the side."
Wu Gang nodded, dropped the bucket, and ran off into the village.
Wu Sui turned to look at Su Yu, who was still in a daze.
"Su Yu, you, your sister-in-law, and Xiao Xue stay here. Don't go anywhere. Keep a close watch on these five bags."
Su Yu looked at Wu Sui's retreating figure and stammered a reply.
"Brother Wu, you were too fierce just now..."
Wu Sui ignored him, picked up the bucket, and turned to walk towards the other side of the mudflat.
The villagers are all scrambling for the most conspicuous sea cucumbers; the real gems are still hidden away.
The radar screen in my mind was always on.
Within a 50-meter detection range, green and blue light intertwined.
Wu Sui avoided crowded areas and specifically chose to walk in the areas with the brightest blue light.
Walking behind a rock about half a person's height, the radar showed an extremely bright blue light underneath.
Wu Sui squatted down, plunged his hands into the mud and sand, and dug hard.
With a "whoosh".
A yellow-based, black-spotted coconut snail, even larger than the previous one, was scooped out.
This thing weighs at least fifteen pounds; it's quite heavy to hold in your arms.
Wu Sui grinned and threw it directly into the bucket.
Following the radar's guidance, he then harvested several large conch shells, each weighing two or three pounds.
The villagers were so eager to grab a single sea cucumber that they practically rolled around in the mud, completely oblivious to Wu Sui's success in catching them one by one.
About twenty minutes later, a clanging sound came from afar.
Wu Gang pulled the cart and ran very fast.
"Second brother, the car is here."
Wu Sui carried half a bucket of the newly picked high-end goods back home.
"Hurry up and load it onto the truck, the wind is picking up again, let's get out of here."
Five burlap sacks, almost bursting with contents, along with the large bucket in Wu Sui's hand, were lifted onto the cart by several people working together.
"Big brother, you and sister-in-law pull from the front, and Su Yu and I will push from behind," Wu Sui arranged the positions.
The group pushed a cart loaded with seafood back along the path.
